: You mean there are docile Assyrians??

+++ ... in the sense of "ductile", colloquially: "dog-tail"

+++ I meant "docile" in its second meaning:
"Yielding to supervision, direction, or management; tractable."

+++ Those Assyrians form - of course - only a negligable (but ubiquitous) subset being in starkest contrast to the overwhelming majority of the unbelievably mature and unimaginably highly gifted Assyrian people - I hope to meet some day still in my life-time.

+++ But, good signs are here on this forum, too - though they are still more valium than valiant.
